NCT ID: NCT02272478 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Trial to Test the Effects of Adding 1 of 2 New Treatment Agents to Commonly Used Chemotherapy Combinations

AML18
Start date: October 30, 2014
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The AML18 Trial will evaluate several relevant therapeutic questions in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), as defined by the WHO, and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome. The trial is primarily designed for patients over 60 years considered fit for an intensive chemotherapeutic approach, but younger patients who may not be considered suitable for the concurrent NCRI AML Trial for younger patients may also enter. Patients for whom intensive chemotherapy is not thought suitable may enter the concurrent NCRI trial of less intensive therapy (LI1). Approximately 1600 patients will be recruited. At entry, a randomisation will compare a standard chemotherapy schedule DA (Daunorubicin/Ara-C) combined with 1 dose of Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin, or GO) in course 1 against CPX-351. Patients who have known adverse risk cytogenetics (using Grimwade 2010 classification favourable/intermediate/adverse) at diagnosis may enter a Phase 2 evaluation of the combination of Vosaroxin plus Decitabine. Patients who achieve complete remission (CR) and who are MRD negative by flow cytometry after course one of DA will receive one further course of DA, with a randomisation to receive, either a course of DA or intermediate dose Cytarabine (IDAC) as a third course. Patients who are MRD negative by flow cytometry after course one of CPX-351 will receive up to 2 further course of CPX. Patients who fail to achieve a CR after course 1 of DA or who are MRD positive by flow cytometry or for whom MRD information is not available, are eligible to be randomised to compare DA with DA plus Cladribine (DAC) or FLAG-Ida for up to two courses of therapy. Patients who fail to achieve a CR after course 1 of CPX-351 or who are MRD positive by flow cytometry or for whom MRD information is not available are eligible to be randomised between a second course of standard dose CPX versus a repeat of the course 1 schedule. Patients receiving Vosaroxin and Decitabine are excluded from these post course 1 randomisations . Following the outcome of course 1, patients who received DA chemotherapy on course 1 will be randomised to receive further chemotherapy with the 2nd generation FLT3 inhibitor AC220. Patients randomised to AC220 will be allocated a maximum of 3 courses (short AC220) or 3 courses plus maintenance for 1 year (long AC220). Patients receiving Vosaroxin and Decitabine are excluded from this randomisation. Patients will be eligible for a non-intensive allogeneic stem cell transplant if a suitable HLA matched donor is available.

NCT ID: NCT02189824 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

Chemotherapy Followed by Infusion of Partially HLA Matched Unrelated Donor Cells for Patients With AML Who Are Ineligible for Stem Cell Transplantation

SCRAMBLE
Start date: August 2014
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

A phase 1 study of infusion of partially HLA matched unrelated donor blood or marrow cells (microtransplantation) following consolidation chemotherapy in patients with AML that are not suitable for allogenic stem cell transplantation.

NCT ID: NCT01716364 Active, not recruiting - Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trials

Safety Study of Anti LewisY Chimeric Antigen Receptor in Myeloma, Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Start date: January 2010
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Patients with some forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma (MM) are not cured with conventional therapy and new approaches are needed. For the last 15 years we have investigated the potential of using a patient's own T cells (a type of white blood cell [WBC]) to eradicate the tumor. We have demonstrated the feasibility of this approach in cell culture and animal models of AML and MM. Over the last 5 years we have been preparing to treat patients as part of a Phase I (first in human) clinical trial. The trial treatment involves collecting the patient's own WBCs from the blood by a standard well established and safe process called apheresis. The cells are then cultured in a specialized laboratory (under Good Manufacturing Practice conditions, similar to standards under which pharmaceuticals are produced) over 12 days to convert the cells to specialized tumor-attacking T cells. Early in that culture process the cells are exposed to a virus (that is modified so that it cannot infect or replicate outside the special culture conditions) that contains a special gene. Via the virus, this gene inserts into the patient's T cells in culture and gets incorporated into the T cell's genetic machinery. As the T cells replicate, the new gene produces a protein receptor that becomes part of the patient's T cells. This protein receptor on the T cells has the capacity to specifically recognize and bind to a protein on the leukemia or myeloma cells called the "Lewis Y" antigen. After the modified T cells are infused into the patient, they home into the bone marrow (this tracking is monitored by special radiological techniques) where the new protein receptor on the T cell surface can recognize and bind to the cancer cells (which express Lewis Y). Once bound onto the cancer cells, the T cells get activated and subsequently replicate and kill the cancer cells. The novelty of this approach is that the T-cells will only kill cells that have the Lewis Y on their surface - the cancer cells. Moreover, because there are few normal cells in a person's body that carry Lewis Y, this treatment is likely to only have minor side effects. This gene therapy trial is unique and although the primary purpose is to test the safety of this approach, patients will be monitored closely for anti-tumor responses. As the trial progresses, the dose of T cells infused will increase, in the hope that this will result in a better and stronger immune response to the leukemia or myeloma.

NCT ID: NCT01621724 Completed - Clinical trials for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

WT1 TCR Gene Therapy for Leukaemia: A Phase I/II Safety and Toxicity Study

Start date: April 2012
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

WT1 TCR gene therapy is a new treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia and chronic myeloid leukaemia. Patient's white blood cells (T cells) are modified to specifically fight the leukaemia cells by transferring a gene into the T cells, which allows them to recognize fragments of a protein called WT1. This protein is present on the surface of leukaemia cells at very high levels. The gene transferred to the T cells enables them to make a new T cell receptor (TCR), which will allow them to attack leukaemia cells with high levels of WT1 on their surface. Using this form of gene therapy the investigators can convert some of the patient's immune system's own T cells into T cells that the investigators hope will be much more effective at recognizing and killing leukaemia cells.

NCT ID: NCT01597219 Completed - Clinical trials for Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Trial of Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation for Haematological Cancers

UK-Haplo
Start date: March 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This trial investigates stem cell transplants from partially mismatched donors in patients with blood and bone marrow cancers. The trial will test two kinds of transplants - a full intensity transplant using a high dose of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and a reduced intensity transplant with lower doses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Patients will be entered for the treatment pathway that is most appropriate for their level of health and fitness

NCT ID: NCT01497002 Completed - Clinical trials for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

Comparison of the OSHO Protocol to a Standard Arm Protocol of the German AML Intergroup in Patients With AML>60a

AML2004
Start date: April 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Improvement of the treatment-results in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia through intensification of consolidation chemotherapy and/or allografting as consolidative immunotherapy

NCT ID: NCT01422603 Completed - Myelodysplasia Clinical Trials

Clofarabine Pre-conditioning With Allogeneic Transplant for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML)

Start date: February 2011
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study has been designed to investigate the safety and feasibility of using a chemotherapy drug, Clofarabine, to reduce the disease burden before a donor transplant, in patients with high risk Acute Myeloid Leukaemia or Myelodysplasia (MDS). In this study Clofarabine chemotherapy will be given a few days before a reduced or full intensity donor stem cell transplant and without waiting for normal blood counts to recover. It is hoped that this approach may improve the outcome for patients with high risk AML and MDS after their transplant.

NCT ID: NCT01414231 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

Comparison of the OSHO Protocol to a Standard Arm Protocol of the German AML Intergroup in Patients With AML<60a

OSHO#061
Start date: April 2002
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This protocol is part of the German AML Intergroup Trial, where the OSHO study arm is compared to the common German standard arm after randomization in a 9:1 ratio. The hypothesis involves primarily dosing and application of AraC for induction. It is expected that CR rates and as a consequence also LFS are higher in protocols using higher AraC compared to lower doses and that LFS might be superior in the study specific arm compared to the golden standard published several years ago. In the standard arm, AraC 100mg/m2/day is given as continuous infusion over 7 days. Daunorubicin is given as 60 mg/m2/day over a two hours infusion on days 3, 4 und 5. On day 22 a second induction course is applied. After reaching CR, three cycles of AraC 3 g/m2 over three hours bid are infused on day 1, 3 und 5. In contrast the OSHO arm consists of induction therapy with IDA 12 mg/m*2 over 20-30-min-iv on day 1 - 3 and AraC 2 x 1 g/m*2 bid over 3-h-iv on days 1+3+5+7. A previous phase II study of the OSHO has shown high CR in patients with relapsed AML using MitoFlag. In this study we asked the question if MitoFlag is superior to IdaAraC in newly diagnosed AML patients without CR after the first induction chemotherapy. Therefore patients are randomized to receive either MitoFlag or IdaAraC and the difference in CR rates evaluated. It is still unclear if two consolidation therapies are needed before allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplantation. This question is being addressed in the second part of the OSHO study, where patients are randomized to receive either one or two consolidation therapies. In this study all patients with AML and an age of 18-60 years except M3 are entered

NCT ID: NCT01236144 Completed - Clinical trials for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

A Trial to Establish the Feasibility of Combining Either the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor AC220,CXCR4 Inhibitor Plerixafor or HSP90 Inhibitor Ganetespib With Chemotherapy in Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome.

AML18 Pilot
Start date: April 2011
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The AML18 Pilot Trial will evaluate the feasibility of three interventions that are planned to be included in the forthcoming NCRI AML18 Trial. One intervention will be to evaluate combining the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor AC220 with three courses of standard DAE (Daunorubicin, Ara-C, Etoposide). AC220 will be given following each treatment course, daily by mouth for 7, 14 or 21 days. AC220 will be evaluated at 3 dose levels of 60, 90 and 135 mg flat dose. A 4th dose level of 40 mg will be introduced should patients not respond well to 60 mg. The second intervention to be tested is the combination of the CXCR4 inhibitor Plerixafor with up to three courses of the chemotherapy combination of DClo (Daunorubicin, Clofarabine). Patients/investigators will be able to choose which intervention to enter. Depending on recruitment requirements, only one intervention might be available at any one time. The third intervention Patients will receive 3 treatments of 100 mg of ganetespib on days 1, 8 and 15 of each course where day 1 is the first day of the chemotherapy. The chemotherapy will be DAE/DAE/DA. Three courses of chemotherapy will be given each of which will be associated with 3 administrations of ganetespib.

NCT ID: NCT01063660 Completed - Clinical trials for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

Treosulfan Based Conditioning Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML)

Start date: March 2004
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a multicenter, multinational, non-randomized, non-controlled open-label phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treosulfan in a combination regimen with fludarabine as conditioning therapy prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with AML. The aim is to demonstrate a clinical benefit compared with historical data on intravenous busulfan (BusulfexTM, BusilvexTM), the only drug so far registered in the indication conditioning before allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
